I was using regular batch utility execution, instead of the configuration file method (see here). According to the documentation, the way to do this is:……
A few weeks back I was looking to install Oracle Data Relationship Management (DRM) on a virtual machine for some testing. I fired up my trusty Windows 2008 server VM and went to work installing Oracle DRM using the installation instructions found on this very blog (written by the magnificent Vijay Kurian no less).
